I didn't know Gail very well but she was always a very nice person.i know she went to NIU and married her college sweetheart and has one grown son.she passed away about 15 years ago.she may have died from cancer.
Gail died in December of 2010 according to NIU alumni(ea) news. There is a memorial to her in the garden of the Illinois Math and Science Academy according to whom I no longer rember.
hi,I think I found out Gail passed away from the NIU newsletter..i haven't been back to DeKalb since I graduated.someday when I return to campus I will leave a pebble by her rememberance.she did many good things for people in Illinois.she is missed and loved by many people.
Gail and I went back well into elementary school. For many years we were very close. I seem to remember that we were in the same Girl Scout troop. She lived across the street from Bonnie Block and the three of us were a threesome for several years. I was in her wedding party, which was such an honor and a joy. We stayed in touch for a number of years. She and her husband, Len, moved to Springfield, IL where he was active with the Illinois state legislature, as I remember. I heard from her once shortly after Miriam was born, but like so many relationships, it was difficult to maintain from a long distance, especially without the internet or cell phones. She was bright and sunny; we laughed a lot. She was very smart and was well on her way to making the best of her time here on earth. I'm truly sorry to see she is among those who are gone far too soon. I hope her family have wonderful memories. My condolences to them. I will miss her.

Gail left a daughter Miriam. The Math & Science Academy is in Aurora, not De Kalb.
